DECATUR MORTGAGE SALE The, Court of Appeals has handed down decision which declares that j farms on the bo-. h policeman cannot enter a private • house without a warrant to effect an arrest for an offence not comitted in his presence. Resistance, even to taking life, is declared justifiable by the court. Under the ruling, Juliue Ilolmes, a negroe recently convicted in Bibb county for killing a man who assisted two policemen to .• r. rest him, and who was sentenced for twenty years, will probably go free. The police officers entered the ne gro’s home to arrest him on a charge of disorderly conduct The n^gro resisted and ran and the officers fired at him four times as he ran.

The great majority of tha people of this country do not want Wil liam Jennings Bryan for president. There is no rubbiug this fact out, It is claimed that money was usee to secure Taft’s election. That is true, and it is also true that money was used in Mr. Bryans^behalf The republicans used the most money to na sure, but the democrats would have used just as much more if they had had it. But if not a dollar had been used Taft would have been elected. Mr. Bryan is an able man and a good man. There has never been any question a9 to bis character or as to his sincerity in what he has advocated. But somehow the peo ple at large have never felt that they could Rust him with the presi dency. They look upon him as a theorist more than a practical man. He will never be president'; but he will continue to “butt” into pub lic affairs. We do not believe the democrat ic party will go to pieces as a re sult of the third disastrous defeat under hit> leadership. But we do look for itto undergo many radi cal changes. Just what these changes will be cannot now be stated, but one thing £Is certain : Mr. Bryan will not he the stand ard bearer any more. R. R. Bridge Burned. Tiie Coast Line R.R. bridge acros- T.red creek between Cairo and Thom j asvilla, burned on Tuesday night, of last week and trains were delayed by transfer of pas-engers and mails several d rys. The bridge burned was about 100 feet long and tiriy ieet high, and was probably fired by a passing train. All "amage, however, has been re paired arid trains were running by the end of the week. States Rights Upheld. The supreme court of the United States has just handed down a de cision of great importance to Sou thern whites and, in its effect, of ims portance to the entire nation. This decision, briefly, sustained the Kentucky state government in ruling that whites and negroes shall not be educated together in state institutions. In other words, the negroes may not attend the state schools or colleges for whites The supreme court did not con* sider the case in its social aspects. It merely pissed on the question of law or whether the p >wer of a state srer its own corporate creatures comprised the right to amend the charter of anv school or college so as to prevent the attendance of ne groes in that institution. On th is point the ooart’s opinion, written by Justice Brewer, ruled assent. The significant part of the opinion is its obiter dicta that the white and blaok races are naturally antagonist tic and that the enforced separation of the two races is m tae interest ot lhe T nr™rAX statement AO U» VI > 7 , a! aeems'nothing more than a platr* tude.
